FC Barcelona pressures the 'heavyweights' to leave

The FC Barcelona announced definitively the cessation of Quique Setién like trainer of the first team culé with an official communiqué that, besides, seemed that it carried the intention to give a conclusive message to some players. In fact, the message of the Barcelona club cataloged the goodbye of the Cantabrian like the first measure to give a dump to the situation, although it seems that they go to arrive more.

The press release of the Catalan entity ensured that the dismissal of Quique Setién "is the first decision in the frame of a wide restructuring of the first team, that will do with the consensus of the current technical secretary and the new trainer, that will be announced in the next days". When having ceased already to the technician, the terms of "wide restructuring of the first team" only could go headed to the players.

Besides, the message of the FC Barcelona gave even more tracks: "The club will continue implementing a plan of crash for revertir the sportive and economic situation, based in a deep change in the first team". In this sense, no longer only did reference to a sportive restructuring, but also economic, maybe alluding to the course of the veteran players with agreements higher.

The message, that reiterates that there will be deep changes in the first team, seems a manoeuvre to persuade to some footballers to step at the side, as it said Gerard Hammered after the humiliation to which the FC Barcelona was subjected against the Bayern of Munich. However, this step at the side will have to give by own will of the players, since all they have agreement in force and can remain if like this they wish it.

In spite of that the FC Barcelona pretend to do this restructuring giving gone out to some footballers, goes to be very complicated to carry out the plan. Players like Gerard Hammered, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal or Luis Suárez have agreements in force to which would have to renounce to leave . Nevertheless, this would suppose to renounce to a lot of money by his part, a sacrifice that no all would be had to do.

A chaotic planning of Josep Maria Bartomeu

In a moment of need of changes like this sees the ruin that Josep Maria Bartomeu and his board have established in the FC Barcelona spending millonadas in signings that have finish fracasando or renewing to veteran players with some increases of index card totally surrealist. This situation will do that, although the current president leave in March, the agreements inherited will affect also to the plans of the next managerial board.
